It is believed that the lemon originated in Asia. In fact, significant cultivation of lemons in Europe began in Italy in the middle of the 15th century.The lemon was later introduced to the Americas in 1493, when Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds with him on voyages to the New World.

A few weeks ago, around Columbus Day, we talked about Christopher’s influence on the popularity of chocolate. It’s hardly surprising, that he also influenced lemon, another of the world’s most popular flavors.

Needless to say, GELATO GIULIANA is spreading the culture of GELATO throughout our region. Our “gelato maestros” have decades of experience in the art of this Italian tradition.
